Option 1 (with assembly or card packets): You or your group cut, fold and put the elastic bands on sets of cards. You contact a hospital or care center in your community and arrange delivery. Take photos of your delivery! If patients or residents can be in the photos, great! If not, due to facility policy, then take a photo of you/your group with the cards and some facility staff members. Email your photos to us so we can share them online!

Option 2 (without assembly of card packets): Same as above, except there is no assembly because our volunteers here in Tampa have already done that part for you!

How the Care Can Sets are organized. All cards are assigned to a set, maintained in digital form, and reprinted for future Care Cans.
